Since time immemorial, the Haddesley family has tended the cranberry bog. In exchange, the bog sustains them. A covenant is renewed each generation with the ritual sacrifice of their patriarch, and in return, the bog produces a "bog-wife" meant to carry on the family line. But when the bog fails to honor the bargain, the Haddesley siblings face an unknown future. Wenna believes they must abandon their patrimony. Eda seeks to salvage the compact. Percy retreats into the wilderness. And as Nora takes desperate measures to keep her warring siblings together, Charlie uncovers a disturbing secret that casts doubt over everything the family has ever believed about itself.
